Khir Toyo, who called on Elizabeth to resign, now says their hearts go out to her and understand her predicament

“We are not behind this devious plan. So, I feel, Pakatan Rakyat de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, should retract his statements made to the media that Elizabeth’s issue was engineered by Umno.

“Such allegations saddened fellow Umno members and me, as we do not stoop that low,” he said.

He added that from newspaper reports, the special friend of Wong is a PKR member and there is no connection with Umno or Barisan Nasional.

“Our hearts go out to her. We understand her predicament. Her resignation is a good step forward as not all Malaysian could accept the issue.

“Now, it is better for PKR to accept her resignation, as it will stop all the harassment she is facing. We all hope the harassment will stop and all parties involved will give her space,” he said.
